Selling prohibited items
Hi all, I'm new to selling on Amazon. Stupidly, the first item I decided to try is power banks, aka portable chargers for phones. I had no idea about the regulations etc until recently. My powerbanks contain 21700 Li-ion batteries, which are prohibited. Although, my manufacturer has sent me UN 38.3 test sheet, which the batteries passed, SDS and battery info sheet. Everything seems fine and the batteries are of good quality. My question is, how do I actually apply to sell these things, and is it even worth the hassle? Or are my listings constantly under pressure of being taken down for no reason? I see many powerbanks being sold on Amazon with the same batteries.. Thanks

If they are prohibited then you cant sell them even if other people are
Have you got good insurance?

Have you already checked the Mobile Phone/Laptop Computer Batteries and Chargers Help Page?
You can find there information on how to apply for selling specific products on Amazon.
